The Path to
Automated
Underwriting
An insurer harnesses the Web
to revolutionize the way it
binds business.
By Joe McKendrick
Allied World Assurance Co., a Bermuda-based provider of professional underwriting insurance, puts more control of the
policy administration process into the
hands of producers who can then write
new business via the Internet, anytime
and anywhere. To accomplish this, the
insurer has been building and perfecting
an automated, Web-based platform that
takes new policies from the initial appli-
cation through the underwriting process,
in many cases, delivering approved poli-
cies in a matter of minutes.
